Designer's notes
This is an excellent, less challenging, alternative to the Inca Trail, exploring an area set apart from modern life, before taking the train to Machu Picchu itself.
The trek is based on camping. It can be shortened to 4 days if you cannot spare 5 days.
You can choose to join a shared trek with others, or a private trek with your own guide etc.
